The annual Keep Encouraging Youth toward Success fundraiser, is honoring its mentors of the year Ties & Tiaras, will be held on Thursday, Feb. 18 from 6-8:00 p.m. at Agave Road.

With more than 900 mentors working with children on the brink of success across KISD, the designation of “Mentor of the Year” is a significant one.
They are selected based on their years of service, the number of children they have mentored and their depth of commitment to those children.
Collectively, these mentors represent 43 years of service to KEYS and the students they work with.
The event will also include the Salvation Army Harbor Light Choir entertaining guests as they are treated to hors d’oeuvres and beverages and bid on a collection of KISD student artwork and unique gift baskets during a silent auction.
